Prediction: 3-1

Sevilla

All eyes will be on Estadio Santiago Bernabeu when Real Madrid square off against Sevilla in the last 16 of the Spanish Cup. Los Blancos did remarkably well to win the FIFA Club World Cup trophy in December and, no doubt, the Spanish giants are high on confidence ahead of Wednesday’s football game. Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid win the tournament in Japan and the Golden Ball award winner will be the man to watch in the home team. Sevilla rolled over Formentera in the Copa del Rey last 32, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the two-legged tie against Zinedine Zidane’s troops. Los Sevillanos have been impressive under former Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli this term, but beating Real Madrid at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu is easier said than done and we predict that the star-studded hosts will emerge triumphant in the first leg.
